In the latest episode of Alcohol by Volume, Josh and Dennis discuss the Breckenridge Brewery buyout and some basic equipment all homebrewers should have.

If you've recently purchases beer starter kits and haven't started them, listen to this episode for some great advice from Dennis! The biggest takeaway from this episode it to be patient and start small with your brewing endeavors as you learn the craft. You'l [...]

Welcome to GG Episode 7, our gaming podcast here at eciov. In this episode, Sean and Josh talk about Capcom's Street Fighter 5, a new indie game called Firewatch from Campos Santos and Panic, a text-based mobile game called Lifeline, Blizzard's new strategy for Hearthstone, and the Thieve's Guild expansion for Elder Scrolls Online.

In the latest episode of Alcohol by Volume, Josh and Dennis re-introduce the concept of the ABV podcast to their listeners. It's been a while since we posted a new episode, but we're hoping to make this more of regular show moving forward. We also discuss some of the recent brewery news with independent brewers selling out to huge, corporate conglomerates. It happens; it will continue to happen. There isn't much we can do to prevent it, so we might as well get over it... but, we still want to ta [...]

Welcome to GG Episode 6, our gaming podcast here at eciov. In this episode, Sean and Josh talk about Josh's decision to keep Grand Theft Auto off our website. You can read more about that decision here. Ultimately it just comes down to a mutual respect between our readers/listeners/viewers and our writers. We like you and we want you to like us. If you have any questions about this decision, just hit us up on any of our social networks. This is also our first episode doing a livestream for the p [...]

Welcome to GG Episode 4, our gaming podcast here at eciov. In this episode, Sean and Josh talk about Sean's recent purchase of a PlayStation 4. Josh questions Sean's loyalty to the pursuit of epic gaming (get a PC, folks). Sean questions Josh's desire to be an all-around game connoisseur. They agree to disagree on platforms, but some interesting things happen when they talked about the PS4. Game exclusivity turns out to be a major draw for Sean... more than he thought. Josh basically re-sells hi [...]

This is the third episode of GG, our gaming podcast here at eciov. In this episode, Sean and Josh talk about Blizzard's attempt at a League of Legends competitor: Heroes of the Storm. Haha, get it? Storm. Blizzard. So creative, guys... guys? It's currently in beta, but Sean's first impressions were good. Once the game is officially available, we'll revisit it and maybe record a session of Sean showing Josh how to play a MOBA game. Josh's FPS days are numbered. We also discuss the gaming world's [...]

Our 6th episode is dedicated entirely to the beer we tasted at the Great American Beer Festival that took place in Denver this past October. Alcohol by Volume is a new podcast dedicated to the homebrew community. In this episode, Josh Carr and Dennis Niedfeldt discuss the many... many beers they tasted at GABF: we're focusing specifically on the beers we loved outside of Colorado. We love our Colorado breweries, but we get to see and taste their beer all of the time. So we decided to step outsid [...]

This is the second episode of GG, our new gaming podcast here at eciov. In this episode Sean and Josh talk about Rockstar's first attempt at an online version of their popular Grand Theft Auto series. While they ran into a lot of trouble early on, we've found the servers to finally be stable and the online side of the game definitely worth playing. There are plenty of reasons you may still want to throw your controller, but we'll bring you up to speed on Grand Theft Auto Online in this episode. [...]

Our fifth episode is dedicated entirely to the Great American Beer Festival that took place in Denver this October. Alcohol by Volume is a new podcast dedicated to the homebrew community. In this episode, Josh Carr and Dennis Niedfeldt discuss the overall feel of the GABF this year: reactions to the crowds, vendors, and what it felt like being part of the press. In part 2 of our series, we will discuss the unique and generally tasty beers we tried. Obviously, we didn't taste every beer at the fe [...]

This is the third episode of the Politerian podcast: a new podcast dedicated to intelligent discussion of political issues. In this episode, Josh Carr, Jon Ruth, and Andy Ottoson discuss Entitlements in the United States and Josh's new proposal for replacing our current system. This is only part one of the discussion. If it seems like it ends abruptly, we're sorry, but the rest will be available next week. This is not a discussion we take lightly. We expect to revisit this conversation regularly [...]

If you're going to GABF as a vendor or attendee, try [...]

This is the third episode of Battery Life, our new technology podcast. In this episode Wyatt and Josh talk about Amazon's newest tablet: the Kindle Fire HDX. While they're only available for pre-order at the moment, Amazon has given us all of the information we need to know to make a buying decision. If it weren't for the rumored iPad update coming soon, we would've ordered one of the 7-inch tablets already. We're expecting this to sell like crazy, especially if Apple doesn't put a retina displa [...]

Thanks for checking out the first episode of GG, our new gaming podcast here at eciov. In this episode Sean and Josh talk about Rockstar's newest entry in the Grand Theft Auto series: Grand Theft Auto 5. We found the game to be pretty vulgar but innovative at the same time. So sit back, relax - maybe even grab your controller - and listen to us discuss the basics about Grand Theft Auto 5. If you're already playing the game, we also mention a few tips that we've found helpful throughout our time [...]

This is the third episode of Alcohol by Volume: a new podcast dedicated to the homebrew community. In this episode, Josh Carr and Dennis Niedfeldt continue our “Beer Basics” series as they discuss the cleaning supplies necessary to maintain a proper brewing environment so your beer doesn't sour (unnecessarily).
